However, it is during the second test using the Peacekeeper resource that SRWare Iron really separated itself from the other two. A brief look at the overall points:Then we can break these down into more detailed reports of how the browsers final score was achieved.

From these findings on the Peacekeeper website, it appears that SRWare Iron performs doubly well compared to Firefox and Seamonkey. Whilst I did find it was a fast browser, I didn't notice that much difference between the three. However all of these browsers noticeably outperform Internet Explorer which I have to use day to day in my place of work. I do not wish to install it and run it using WINE to perform a fair test.

During episode 5 of TuxJam I reviewed a browser called SRWare Iron. This is a fork of the Chromium browser (an open-source community version of Google Chrome) with a few tweaks under the hood.

About Me

I'm a Lewis man through and through. I always advocate the use of open source software whenever possible. I tend to like to tweak factory setings on almost anything I can, the greatest toy ever is the GP2x Wiz as it has just amazing customization potential, cool hardware features such as touch screen, it is way more than a games machine. I also promote using ogg format as opposed to mp3, so if I find a player that runs ogg natively I will always recommend it.
